2、 of the Chinese and western cultures.IntroductionlDiet is actually the contents of our daily lives.It has special status in the Chinese culture,and it also has a great distinction between China and the west.As one of the world ancient nations,Chinas diet has a history almost as long as that of Chine

3、se civilization.But in western countries,ancient thinkers devoted less attention to the food problem than the Chinese philosophers did.IntroductionlReceiving the influence of respective cultural tradition,the Chinese and western dietary culture has had different characteristic.The differences in con

4、cepts,targets,patterns,attribution and nature had reflected the different dietary culture in the different state characteristic;such characteristic has enriched the research value of dietary culture.AnalysislDifferences in ConceptslDifferences in targetslDifferences in Dietary PatternslDifferences i

5、n Diet AttributionlDifferences in the NatureDifferences in ConceptslChinese diet is a sense of beauty diet and pays attention to the color,flavor,taste regardless of the nutrition.l Chinese people hanker on a diet is just the“mood”that is difficult for one to say anything.Even using the color,flavor

6、,shape and implement which people often said to make the realm reification,is still difficult to crown all.lChinese cooking method is to reconcile,and the ultimate goal is to reconcile out of a beautiful taste.Differences in ConceptslWestern diet is a rational concept,regardless of the color of food

7、,incense,flavor and shape,but nutrition must be assured.l In celebration,it stresses tableware,stresses the staple,stresses the servings,and stresses the color and shape mix of raw materials.But no matter how luxurious the grade is;from Los Angeles to New York,only one taste of steak,it is no art to

8、 speak of.lAs dishes,things will not be mixed up.The chicken is chicken;steak is steak,even in groups,which are also conducted in a shallow dish.Color is on clear,but the tastes of the various materials are separated,not to reconcile,and the entire flavor is also simple and clear.Differences in targ

9、etslIn China,all diet cannot be done without vegetables.The word dish is for the sound,and it always has something to do with the plants.In fact,the Chinese dishes,vegetable dish is usual food.Meat dish entered the normal diet only on holidays or higher living standards,so since ancient times,and th

10、ere was a saying of fresh vegetables.Chinese people consider the vegetables as the main dish;it has inextricably linked with the advocacy of Buddhists.lThe Chinese character is called the plant character.Differences in targetslWesterners do not seem to have such a good habit.They uphold a cultural o

11、rigin of nomadic,seafaring nation.Living mainly by fishing and hunting,collection and planting are just the complement.There are more meat dishes in their lives.Feeding,clothing,and using are taken from the animals,and even Western medicine is derived from animals.When the westerners introduce the d

12、iet characteristics of their countries,they always feel that their diet is more reasonable on the mix of nutrition than China.lThe Western character is called animal character.Differences in Dietary Patternsl In China,a celebration,no matter what,there will be only one form,as sitting together,shari

13、ng one feast.Banquet uses round table,which has created a unity of form,which is courtesy,comity atmosphere.Cates are in the center of the table.It is the objects for people to appreciate and taste,and it is also an intermediate of communication.People toast each other and share the vegetables,which

14、 reflect the mutual respect between people in the face of the good things,also show the virtues of comity.l Although from the health point of view,this approach has obvious deficiencies.Differences in Dietary PatternslIn West,buffet dinner is popular.This shows a western personality and self-respect

15、.This method is to display all food,and everybody is picking not fixed in his or her places to eat.They walk freely.This approach would provide the emotional interaction between individuals;they never need to put every word on the table.This also shows a western personality and self-respect.lHowever

16、,all the eating without jamming lacks the real affective tone like the Chinese people.The buffet has broken such pattern which shows harmony and unity.Differences in Diet AttributionlChinese diet tends to be art and sentimental,which is expressed as the stress on the flavor.In China,eating is not me

17、ant to have enough.It is about nutrition.Sometimes we eat though we are full.We are overloaded with food.Saying bluntly,it is to appreciate the art of cooking;and not saying it nicely,it is the temptation of delicious for the enjoyment of taste.Differences in Diet AttributionlWestern diet tends to b

18、e scientific and rational,which is in the development of nutrition.Westerners always use menu to buy ingredients to produce dishes,but in comparison,it is the machinery,and often powerless facing the complex specific situation.They lack the atmosphere of art.Differences in the NaturelDifferences in

19、the nature of the Chinese and western diet are inosculated with the respective lifestyle and the pace of life.lThe paces of Westerners lives are so fast.But in china,life manner is also emerged in diet.Differences in the NaturelIn China,The game is work,and the work is of a game”.Such life manner is

20、 also emerged in diet.A baker sells bread in the street,he likes using the rolling pole to beat the chopping board rhythmically when they knead flour.When the cooks fry a dish,even beating scoop,they also care the sense of rhythm during cooking.These would not work for any conveniences,but it increa

21、ses the interests of workers.Only in such an atmosphere work will be meaningful,and it will have more creativity and artistry of Chinese cuisine.Differences in the NaturelIn the west,people do the duplication of pipeline operations,and implement piece-wage system,so the paces of their lives are so f

22、ast.People fall under the mechanical method either intentionally or unintentionally,and believe that Work is work,and game is game.Mechanical lives led to oneness of diet or a single blind about diet,and eat beefsteak and potatoes every day.Monotonous diet is the same as work,for which the purposes

23、is to fulfill the incident,naturally with no interests,and all these have no word in terms of taste.ConclusionlThere still exist various differences between Chinese and western dietary cultures.lBut with the development of cultural communication between China and the west,along with the strengthenin

24、g of communication between China and the west,China has imported various kinds of western food,known as the KFC DICOS,McDonald.This marks a new western dietary culture exchanges and infiltration.lWe believe that with the development of society,the cultural differences between Chinese and western dietary will no longer be the difference.
